Answer: Decreased assets and liabilities.

Explanation:

Both assets and Liabilities decrease as a result of the April transaction because first, Cash is used to pay the Dividend which reduces the cash account and Cash is an Asset.

Liabilities also decrease because when the dividends were declared in February, Despot Inc had to create a liability in their books to cater for the payment of the dividends. Now that the dividends have been paid, that figure will be removed therefore reducing Liabilities.
